Bookie. Politician. There’s an intersection there.

Well, it’s good to know his qualifications, and experience before he got into public office. He had the equivalent of a BA in dealing with the mob.

I apologize for my prior crude comment. With the exception of Frank Rich, a few hundred SF journalists, Keith Uberdolt, theatre critics, food editors, any graduate of an Ivy League school, and friends of Barney Fife, no legitimate journalist would have any interest in Blago’s masturbation habits.

The real thing our investigative press needs to hone in on about Blago is how many times his 12 year old daughter has been pregnant and who did it.

Say it aint so Hot Rod.

The ABC7 I-Team has learned that an attorney who went undercover for the FBI in the late 1980’s says he told federal authorities years ago about wrongdoing by Blagojevich.
His name is Robert Cooley.
Cooley was a criminal defense lawyer in Chicago in the late 1980’s who became one of the most potent witnesses against Chicago corruption, testifying for federal prosecutors in cases that resulted in dozens of convictions.
Cooley says that before Rod Blagojevich got into politics he was a bookmaker on the North Side who regularly paid the Chicago mob to operate.
